If I make this list tomorrow, it would probably look quite different. And it if I did a third or fourth time, it would change each time. For example, it was tough to leave off Chinatown, The Edge, The Thirteenth Warrior, The Mummy, Medicine Man.

This is very hard because there are just so many good ones and it is hard to leave some out. Like the others have already said, if I made this list tomorrow it would be different, but here it goes-10-THE MUMMY--POWDER-STAR TREK -FIRST CONTACT-SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY-PSYCHO NO 2-SECRET OF NIMH-THE OMEN-TAKE A HARD RIDE-FATE IS THE HUNTER-A PATCH OF BLUE.GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURVEY.

These are the Goldsmith scores I enjoy the most and even if I also do enjoy scores like "Alien" or "Planet of the Apes" very much too, I go back much more often to tonal scores with strong and thrilling melodic material. Yet a cue like "The Buzzards" [fron "The Red Pony"] is among my favorite cues ever written by Goldsmith.

1) ISLANDS IN THE STREAM 2) LONELY ARE THE BRAVE 3) THE SAND PEBBLES 4) PLANET OF THE APES 5) THE FINAL CONFLICT 6) THE RED PONY 7) STUDS LONIGAN 8) A PATCH OF BLUE 9) THE WIND AND THE LION 10)THE SECRET OF NIMH

No room for HOLLOW MAN which is one of his late score i enjoy very much.

For me, I would need to know if we're talking film scores as they appear in the movie or as soundtrack albums. The two lists would be quite different.

Same here : that why i decided to focus only on scores that have been released -- and i mean officially released. And in my case too there would have been some different titles in that list -- at least 4 ! That's the reason i didn't include HOLLOW MAN : i'm fond of the isolated track music on the DVD but the CD is just fine.

That wasn't really my angle, though. It has more to do with the two experiences being completely different. A score might work brilliantly in the film, but may not be the best listening experience on CD. Or isn't the best in the film, but great on album. So the lists would be different depending on angle.
